What's New?
New prices for our products
We have had a price increase on our jackets. Our parts have increased in price, and we now have three people working at Good Wear. This is no attempt to gouge our customers, but rather we need to be realistic about our operating expenses. Also, we would very much like our order queue to be a happier amount of time for people requesting jackets.
Please know that these prices are only for orders placed after January 26, 2013. If you have placed an order before that date, the price you were quoted at that time is in effect, not the new price.
We cannot thank each of you enough for your interest in Good Wear products, and we hope that our products and service continue to improve and please.
New golden brown wool knits
We have received a shipment of new A-1 and A-2 wool knits in a lighter brown shade, which we call golden brown. These knits are 100%
wool and have a perfect weave when compared with originals. We have wanted a lighter shade for a long time, and are happy to now offer
this. Lighter shades were often used in certain contracts, like the A-1s, early Werbers, Broncos, Donigers, and several others. Note
the photo below, which can be seen in higher resolution.

Updated A-2 Labels
The Perry Sportswear 16175-P and Rough Wear 27752 labels have been updated. They're now highly accurate copies of original
labels, and can be seen below.

The Real McCoy's and Good Wear Leather
We have built a relationship with The Real McCoy's of Japan, and now offer their products through Good Wear Leather. They have a massive stock of
garments, from leather jackets to demin and vintage style workwear. We are very excited about this opportunity!

Red Tails
In 2008, Good Wear Leather was invited to produce a number of A-2 jackets for the movie Red Tails. We completed 18 jackets in early 2009,
and after a long wait wondering how the movie was progressing, the official trailer has been released. We are excited!

We made the jackets for these characters:
Marty 'Easy' Julian (Nate Parker)
Leon 'Neon' Edwards (Kevin Phillips)
Maurice 'Bumps' Wilson (Michael B. Jordan)
Joe 'Lightning' Little (David Oyelowo)
Ray 'Ray Gun' Gannon (Tristan Wilds)
Walter 'Winky' Hall (Leslie Odom Jr.)
Samuel 'Suicide' George (Elijah Kelley)
David 'Deke' Watkins (Marcus T. Paulk)
Andrew 'Smoky' Salem (Ne-Yo)
Several well-known reproduction companies were invited to make various jackets for the film, so we are one of a number of companies that will have their
goods shown on the silver screen. We can say that the costume designer took her job very seriously, and made every effort to reproduce what the Tuskegee
Airmen were wearing during their combat tour in Italy.
Here are some photographs that show A-2 jackets that were made by Good Wear Leather:
